Gum up all the works. Make them read every bill they introduce in entirety. Aren’t some of the items put forth for funding thousands of pages? Make them read it. Out loud. Call out points on every little thing. Sue them for everything. Tie up everything. Stop their funding.

Only reason I care they get healthcare is it’s because rights are an all or nothing thing. But any criminals can go right to fucking prison and get the healthcare they deserve.

This is the kind of thing that Jeffries, and Schumer should be saying on tv every day.

They should attack his bullshit piety as well, relentlessly.

You're the Speaker of the House of Representatives, doing nothing while a Mad King steals your constitutional authority & violates the law every day.

Also, you control a majority in Congress & can't keep the government open.

Also, stop lying in front of microphones every day.

Mike Johnson: "We said, 'don't sit on your couch and play video games'- by the way, also not a talking point. There was an AEI study, I think one of the organizations that polled this, and most of these young men who are not working are sitting around literally playing video games. Get back to work"

Imagine knowing – being absolutely sure – that when you die, 65 or 70% of the country and the world will celebrate your death like nothing they've ever celebrated anything before.

Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.
